The part is fixed to the body to protect the keyboard and the keyboard on the body when carrying. Although the folding structure of the notebook computer has many different designs, there are still many innovative spaces to make the user more convenient to operate. [New content] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a fastening structure between a body of a notebook computer and a display portion. According to the above object of the present invention, a fastening structure for securing a display portion and a body of a notebook computer is proposed. The display portion of the notebook computer is pivotally attached to the body thereof so that the display portion can be flipped over and attached to the body. The components of the snap-fit structure are described below. --^ hooked in the body. When the display portion is attached to the main body, the hook is hooked into the corresponding opening of the display portion through the opening of the main body through the attraction force of the magnet in the display portion. A first connector, a second link and a switch are disposed on the display portion. When the switch is pressed, the switch pushes the first link to move in the first direction, and the first link pushes the second link to move in the second direction, so as to push the hook away from the display portion of the corresponding opening of the M M361361 . The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. [Embodiment] As described above, the present invention provides a snap-fit structure for a notebook computer. When the display portion of the notebook computer is attached to the body thereof, the fastening structure is used to fix both of them to prevent the display portion from being turned over by an external force. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which illustrates a notebook computer in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The notebook computer 1A includes a main body 1〇4 and a display unit 102. The display unit 102 is pivotally connected to the main body 104 by the rotating shaft 1〇3, so that the display unit 102 can be adjusted in angle with respect to the main body 1〇4 and attached to the main body 104 (the display unit 1〇2 has one side of the screen 1〇2c, It is attached to the body 1〇4 with one side of the keyboard 104c). When the display portion 1〇2 is attached to the main body 1〇4, the hooks 1〇4b on the main body 104 are protruded from the opening 1〇4a and fastened in the opening 102a of the display portion 102 to display The Ministry is not opened by external forces. When the user presses the switch 102b, the display portion 丨〇2 can be disengaged from the hook 丨〇4b, and the state in which the angle can be turned over and the angle is adjusted can be restored. How the hook 104b on the body 104 projects from the opening 1 and snaps into the opening 1〇2a of the display portion 102. Pressing the switch 1 boring causes the display portion 102 to be disengaged from the hooks 1 〇 4b. The mechanism that performs the above two actions is collectively referred to as a snap structure. The operation mechanism of the snap structure will be described below. Please also refer to Figure 2-4. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the portion of the display unit 1〇2 from which the peripheral device is removed (when the display unit 1〇2 is attached to the main body 1〇4, the second figure is along the line AA.) The hook l〇4b is pivotally connected to the main body 1〇4 with the rotating shaft 107 as a fulcrum. When the display unit 1〇2 is attached to the main body 1〇4, the hook 1 in the main body 104 is received by the display unit 6 M314361. After the attraction of the inner magnet 105 in the 1〇2, it is rotated in the direction i2〇 to be engaged in the opening 102a of the display unit (10). (See the state shown in Fig. 3 and refer to Figs. 2 and 4 at the same time. The mechanism for how to make the display part H) 2 out of the hook is described as follows. When the (4) is along the side; 116 when the switch is switched, the connecting rod 1〇6 will be moved along the direction (1) at the same time. Otherwise, the user does not apply force. When the switch 1 〇 2b, the elastic restoring force of the spring cymbal pushes the link 1 〇 6 back in the opposite direction of the direction 114. When the link 106 moves toward the 114, the action of the face squirt contacts the link ^ The face 110a slides (in other words, the link 1〇6 is slidably coupled to the link 11〇) such that the link 11 turns in the direction 112. The direction 112 is perpendicular to the direction μ. Conversely, it is not pushed by the link 106. The connecting rod 11〇, the elastic restoring force of the elastic tna pushes the connecting rod 11G back in the opposite direction of the direction m. When the connecting rod 11〇 moves in the direction U2, the hook is pushed away from the display unit 1〇2 The opening part of the mail, the display part 1 () 2 is no longer fixed to the body (10). When the card hook is separated from the opening i 〇 2a of the '4 邛 102, the hook i 〇 4b is the spring i 〇 7a The elastic force is pulled back into the opening 1〇乜 of the body 1〇4 in the direction 122. / It can be seen from the above preferred embodiment of the present invention that the application of the present invention can utilize the magnet to attract the hook to display the display portion of the computer. When the body is fastened, the hook principle is used to disengage the hook from the display portion, so that the user can operate more conveniently. Although the present invention has been disclosed above in the preferred embodiment, it is not used or limited. A new type of person who is familiar with the art can make various changes and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the patent application scope of the present invention is subject to the definition of the patent application.
